What's so great about Skylake?

So I've been resisting my temptations to build a new system due to the launch of Skylake soon.....

now that I see the leaked benchmarks in gaming, even the older 5920K CPU beats it:

Sure the later models coming in 2016 with more cores will be better, but the launch models are the 4 core models which perform similar or a bit worse in multi-threaded apps
